Over the years, many artists have covered the tune and it’s a popular song selection for auditions and showcases. The unique tune sounds like a perfect blend of a rock ballad and a gospel song.
“Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah”
